Originally from Glasgow, I made the move to London almost a year ago to pursue my creative career. Studying a BA(hons) in Digital Art and Design at the university of the West of Scotland, I felt it was a great way to start my career as the course covered a very wide range of subjects from graphic design, to creative writing and directing. Specialising in graphic design and content creation, I found my first creative job in my final year of university working as a graphic designer and social media manager for a small furniture company, I then went on to join the team at Clever Frames in Glasgow, an exhibition company, where I was their graphic designer and content creator. Craving bigger projects and feeling a sense of frustration at the lack of creative opportunities I had in Scotland, I decided to partner up with a friend and launch online and print platform, 'NinetyFour Magazine'. Motivated by the lack of job opportunities or platforms to showcase your work, NinetyFour is a space where like minded people can collaborate and engage in relevant discussions. Through this project I have discovered a love for writing and directing. We were very lucky to work with artist, Jack Coulter and musician, Jerry Williams for our two print magazines and I was able to produce and direct the final outcomes. Moving to London, I am currently working for Overland Shoes LTD, the shoe licensees for two fashion brands, Karl Lagerfeld and G.H Bass & Co. I am part of the marketing team where I attend to graphic design, content creation and production.
Growing up I was a national team gymnast and balanced studying and working around my intense training. Taking a gap year while studying, I took time to travel & work in different countries, including America and France.

- JERRY WILLIAMS X NINETYFOUR MAGAZINEStumbling across Jerry Williams on instagram in January last year, I was instantly obsessed with her music when I searched her on Spotify. Fresh lyrics with very sunshine vibe to her work, I knew she had to be the cover star of NinetyFour magazine's second issue. I first phoned Jerry's manager who agreed to be a part of the project and invited us to a local gig that she was performing. Setting a date in stone, I then researched photographers and connected with Watford based photographer, Ryan
